Clawbius

Clawbius is a fork of the venerable Moebius ANSI Art editor. Clawbius contains a local API for interoperability with 'ANSIClaw' - an Openclaw skill that allows an Openclaw AI agent to draw ANSI art with Clawbius via the API. This project is in early development and highly experimental. The author of this project does not recommend using Clawbius as a general ANSI editor. It should only be used in conjunction with Openclaw and ANSIClaw and is not intended to be a replacement for Moebius.

Clawbius is in a early development state, and is not distributed with binaries. You can compile it yourself or run it uncompiled using the instructions found below provided you have the appropriate versions of node and electron installed for your environment. It has been tested on Windows 11 and MacOS Sequoia.

This project has not been endorsed by the creators of Moebius in any way.

About Moebius, the source project

Moebius is an popular ANSI Editor for MacOS, Linux and Windows, designed and written by Andy Herbert and released under the Apache 2.0 license.

Using without compiling

  • run npm install in the folder to install all dependencies
  • On MacOS run launch_clawbius.sh to launch Clawbius
  • Click 'New' to bring up the canvas; you must run ANSIClaw draw requests with a blank canvas open, not with the splash screen open
  • Now you can ask Openclaw to use ANSIClaw to test the API or draw a picture

Installation & building

git clone git@github.com/n2tr0n/clawbius.git
npm install
npm start

Clawbius packages can be built easily with electron-builder. Note that a build for MacOS must be made on MacOS.

npm run-script build-mac
npm run-script build-win
npm run-script build-linux

Clawbius Server

The 'server' feature of the application remains, but has no use with the Openclaw / ANSIClaw API. It will be removed in a future version of Clawbius. The author recommends not using it.
